Why thank you, ma'am. Once upon a time (in a galaxy far far away - probably a Cromwell neighbor), I did comic strips for the corporate newsletter, and the company ski club newsletter, and for Obsolete Fleet Chevys Ltd., and for Trans Am Club of Oregon, and even made a coloring book called Far Up and Way Down (all cars, trucks, motorcycles - see example below) and an internationally-sold calendar (1980 Space Things) that was on parchment so you could color the pictures (all significant space dates listed on the calendar portion). People used to tell me my pencil never rested... (Have Pen, Will Draw) ...today, however, there just isn't enough time in the day...

Yeah, Atcha, and you should post it here.
Here's another tip:
Color some part of the picture with something unique to someone you know. Like y'all know Lannie is a redhead, right? So, how hard would it be for me to convince you this is her?

Now, copy this picture. You have my permission. Now trace it. Do it until you have a feel for the lines. You can then make some parts bigger or smaller to suit your tastes. Add colors of your choice. Or go back to the Bobcat cartoon. Copy it. Now doodle in your piggy and have him say something relevant.

I can draw, but only copy things I see. I cannot just pull something out of my head and draw it like that from just memory. Guess I only got 1/2 the talent for drawing.

I was in a high school art class with a guy who could copy ANYTHING onto paper with a pen or pencil. But he couldn't draw something out of his head to save his life. I, on the other hand, can't copy worth a damn, and everything I have ever drawn (except for a couple sketches of a cat I once had) came strictly from my imagination. I think it's how our brains are wired. ;)

rut-roh hehehe what did ya git @Lannie

LOL! Give me a week to type it all out! :lol: Nah, there's a lot of flavors, but it's not THAT bad. It was expensive because there were a lot of 4 ounce bottles of CAP and FA flavors in there. Mostly CAP and FA, in fact. I have expensive tastes in flavors. :p

I take no responsibility for her actions towards the dark side....

OMG! Are you KIDDING? You can weasel out of this horrendous flavor order, because you weren't here to egg me on, but all the rest is on you, Rixy my boy! ;) It's all your fault that I go through so much juice every day! :lol: I was happily tootling away and one day I heard, "Pssst... hey, lady!" from a dark alleyway. Who could it have been but Rixy! :eek: He said, "Come to the Dark Side, we have flavor!" I resisted the best I could, but he kept showing me these shinies pinned to the inside lapels of his long overcoat... and finally I broke down and got one. That was OK for a while, but soon I wanted... no, NEEDED... MORE! So he showed me another shiny, and I got it. Then another, and another. Now look at me. I'm a juice ho, and it's all his fault! :shock:

OK, here's your first assignment. Pick something from work (because these things stick in your mind if the situation nagged at you). Here's an example of some poor guy trying to make it through a meeting.

Now, notice that this guy doesn't really look like anyone in real life.
He doesn't even have the right number of fingers. But he's got two legs, two arms, a head, and your audience will say he's a guy... and maybe even a guy they know... because of what? His worried expression? And they know someone who looks like that often? And hey, make his ears pointy and put an "A" on his shirt and everyone will be certain you just drew Spock.

Now, go have fun with it...
Oh good grief I don't think I'd come close to that!!!! I'll give it a try though. At least if it doesn't turn out well it'll be good for a laugh.

Deb, this is my haul:

CAP: peanut butter, marshmallow, French vanilla, vanilla custard, vanilla whipped cream, blueberry jam, Irish cream, glazed doughnut, double chocolate (V2), cake batter, butter cream, and vanilla bean ice cream.

FA: caramel, forest fruit, Vienna cream, raspberry, Catalan cream, Nonna's cake, white peach, Dark Bean espresso, peppermint, black cherry, fresh cream.

TFA: vanilla swirl, French vanilla creme, cheesecake graham crust, vanillin (10%), blueberry extra, amaretto, bourbon, pancake.

All except those last three TFA flavors are in 4 oz. bottles. :facepalm: The amaretto, bourbon, and pancake are 1 oz. bottles.

With the stuff I already have, I can make ANYTHING now! :w00t:

And out of all that, the tootle puffer gets two of the one-ounce bottles... Sigh.

I need to get some more 4oz bottles of CAP flavors myself! How do you like CAPs New York Cheesecake compared to TFA's Cheesecake Graham Crust?? :D

I finally gave up working in the yard when this lizard leaped from the post (at first I thought it leaped on ME :eek:) and took off running to the tree I was standing under. Guess it was camera shy. But it's the biggest one I've ever seen here! And it scared the you-know-what outta me! So I'm in the house now. lol
